Island Manapua , Honolulu

This Chinese eatery has been in the same location for at least a generation. The dim sum, plate lunches and take-out have made this the go-to place for inexpensive Chinese food for Manoa residents and workers. The dim sum gets rave reviews and is as popular as it was when they first opened. Toasted duck and roast pork are always available along with sweets like rice cake and those tasty custard tarts. During the middle of the day, the tiny eatery fills with office workers who are looking for a quick and tasty lunch.
